I studied abroad in Paris my junior year of college. It was the best. Really improved my language skills, and I met wonderful people there who I'm still friends with now. It also made me want to move back abroad after college, and to try something new I went to London, where I met DH!

I studied in Valencia Spain. I loved it. I luckily was able to go back on a vacation and show my brother around.

I studied in Copenhagen. It was amazing! One of the best experiences I had throughout college.

I really wanted to, but never did.

no never had the money to but wish i could of!

@mrbee: I studied in Kanazawa too! It was a summer program. Kenrokuen is still one of my favorite places on the planet.

I did a lot of studying abroad during college. I loved it!

No, and it's literally my only regret in life! Thanks for opening that wound, @mrbee. I really hope to provide study abroad opportunities for my kid(s).

I spent my junior year in Paris. It was so much fun and I learned so much!

I took a theater class in London. And when I was in high school I took some classes with the junior college where we traveled throughout Europe, it was art history.

@mrbee: I'm a Hoya.

I didn't! Totally regret it.

I did! I spent a year in Ecuador when I was 16, and it was HUGELY formative for me. I don't regret it for a second. My husband also spent a year of high school in another country (Switzerland) and felt that it had a huge impact on him. I also did my MA in England. I am ever hopeful that we will be able to provide our children with an equally amazing international experience!

I studied in Barcelona. I'm so glad I did it!

@T.H.O.U.: I really enjoyed Valencia!

@honeybear: hey, I am a Hoya too!

I studied in Spain for a year in high school and in France for a year in college. And now sometimes I feel like I'm on permanent study abroad!

My sister studied in Tokyo. It was fun for both of us though I missed her terribly. We also had 5 different Japanese exchange students, so I got to learn a lot of language and Japanese culture!

@woodentulip: Where in Ecuador? I lived there for 3 years, and my husband is Ecuadorian I always love meeting people who have spent time in mi querido Ecuador!!

@Mrs. High Heels: @sloaneandpuffy: @Weagle:

Lots of us that studied in Spain. I would love to take LO back for a vacation. I loved San Sebastian and Santiago de Compostela.

Waaay back in 8th grade I spent a semester in Dubai, and then did a few weeks in Finland when I was in college. Dubai was super interesting, Finland...kinda sucked.

I really wish I had but I fell in love with a Brit and I've been in London for 2 years now, so I did get some experience abroad.

Seeing how many different nationalities are represented here in London and how it's just the norm for them to go live somewhere else for a few years, I would definitely encourage my kids to study or live abroad. Luckily my kids will have US and UK passports!
